Who thinks they are going to kill a big one this season?

[Great White Hunter]

Dave- Ask PS what the buck scored. He knows the official score.

[Great White Hunter]

Rafe, how did you fool your wife? Is she blind?

[PoisonSnake]

He said it scored 149" officially. I haven't seen the scoresheet. My deer netted 137 5/8" so I threw the darn scoresheet in the trash.

[Warmouth]

Chit, I'm not convinced he's not in on the same deal. I mean we have people here actually bragging about gross score, and probably adding a bit to that too!



Leave the boasting and the over-estimations to the fisherman, good hunters shouldn't have to resort that level of misinformation.

PS, you should have thrown it away....keep shooting the babies and you'll never get the 160.

PS- 137 5/8" is a darn good deer. You should hook up with Shawn, maybe borrow another 2.5" of antlertip from the extra he has laying around. Don't forget to ask what type of glue he uses. Oh heck, just buy a mold and some plaster, fix it up yourself. Plaster is practically harmless, so you should get by just fine.

I gots to give to PS... I've held that rack, it's a nice darn rack to have only netted 137 5/8"! Matteruvfact, I've said it before and I'll say it again... iffin PS's rack only scored 137 5/8", judging by the pics there ain't no way Snow's was anywheres close to 150".

Antler envy = +5 points minimum for some!

[Warmouth]

I'll fudge the numbers on fish a little from time to time (it's been a while honestly), but for rack scores....that is just to serious of a topic to not get it right imo.

That is what Europeans do, measure by water. I would agree with it, but dammit, Americans are better than Euro trash. Our way is better, now agree with me, or agree to be un-American.

Ok.... Jello displacement, screw the euro-trash! I thought the B&C system was european based? Let's go back to the basics, ***************
{any adjective you want} + 8 point, 10 point, 12 point, 14, do I need to keep goin', ect. Should be good enough.

Save the 1/8th increments for rounding up on your d.

I heard that!
What some people will do to feel better than others.
Shouldn't have to lie. It is what it is.

[Warmouth]

Could anyone even begin to estimate a buck by volume?



I mean it even sounds stupid.



"that there buck would score two pints."



"heck no it wouldn't, It's at least a quart and a half!"



"Bull crap, look at that thing, he aint over two and a quater pints at best."



See how dumb that would be.

No it's 1,223,000 cc's!

Well, what made that rack score like it did was the fact that all 10" of deductions were off of the left mainbeam. Like I said, initially, I thought it was a good 8 pointer when it was walking sideways to me. I shot it, and never bothered to walk up to it and finish it off or whatever. Unloaded my rifle, and continued to chew tobacco and scope him out from time to time. Then, I decided to walk off and the darn thing took off running. Then, when I finally caught up with it after the rundown, I got a good look at the right side and was really freaking out. Then, after 2 more shots, I ran buy him again at full throttle I guess. darn thing had to be laying less than 10 yards of where I went through.
